    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Mit einer empfindlichen Analysenmethode, die auf die Reaktion CO+HgO→CO2+Hg basiert und den CO-Gehalt auf Grund der Absorption des freigesetzten Hg bei 2537 Å ermittelt, wurden im Gasraum über wachsenden Kulturen von Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. oviformis, Escherichia coli, Aerobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas spec. und Lactobacillus brevis 0.4–2.6 ppm CO nachgewiesen. Bei Lactobacillus arabinosus, Bacillus cereus var. mycoides und Aspergillus niger war eine CO-Bildung nicht meßbar. 2. Bei S. cerevisiae war die CO-Bildung bei Konzentrationen von 10–50 g Glucose pro Liter Medium am größten. Außerdem wurde die CO-Bildung proportional zum anfänglichen Sauerstoffgehalt im Gasraum über den Kulturen gefördert. 3. Mit 14C-markierter Glucose wurde nachgewiesen, daß CO aus Glucose entsteht. 4. Die CO-Bildung der untersuchten Mikroorganismen ist so gering, daß sie keine Bedeutung für den Kreislauf dieses Spurengases in der Atmosphäre hat.
    Notes: Summary 1. Growing cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. oviformis, Escherichia coli, Aerobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas spec. and Lactobacillus brevis produce trace amounts of CO (0.4–2.6 ppm) that can be detected in the gas space above the cultures using a sensitive analytical method based on the reaction CO+HgO→CO2+Hg. The liberated Hg is quantitatively measured by atomic absorption at 2537 Å. No CO could be detected above cultures of Lactobacillus arabinosus, Bacillus cereus var. mycoides and Aspergillus niger. 2. The maximum CO production by Saccharomyces was obtained with concentrations of 10–50 g glucose per liter medium. The amount of CO formed increased with the oxygen concentration in the gas space above the cultures. 3. Using 14C-glucose it was shown that S. cerevisiae forms CO from glucose. 4. The formation of CO by the microorganisms investigated is very small. The ratio of CO/CO2 produced is much smaller than in environmental air. Therefore it can be concluded that the production of CO by these microorganisms has probably no significance for the atmospheric cycle of this trace gas.

    Notes: Summary In adrenalectomized rats the influence of salt loading or salt deprivation on the vasopressin and oxytocin content of the median eminence (ME) and the neural lobe (NL) was studied by means of various methods: (1) morphometric and microphotometric analysis of aldehyde fuchsin-stained sections of ME and NL; (2) immunohistochemical demonstration of neurophysin, oxytocin, and vasopressin in the ME and in the NL; (3) radioimmunological measurement of oxytocin and vasopressin in the ME and in the NL. Adrenalectomy in salt-substituted rats raised the vasopressin content of the outer layer of the ME (OLME) but had no influence on the amount of vasopressin in the inner layer of the ME and in the NL. Osmotic stimulation of adrenalectomized rats by hypertonic saline markedly diminished vasopressin and oxytocin in the inner layer of the ME and in the NL but did not, or only slightly reduced vasopressin in the OLME. Withdrawal of salt supplementation in adrenalectomized rats resulted in a decrease of plasma sodium and plasma volume. It did not change the vasopressin or oxytocin content of the inner layer of the ME and of the NL, but it was correlated with a decrease of vasopressin in the OLME. The present findings may suggest that vasopressin in the OLME is involved in salt and/or volume regulation by influencing the hypophysial-adrenal axis.

    Notes: Summary In female Wistar rats the influence of adrenalectomy and NaCl administration on the amount of “classical” neurosecretory material (cNSM) in the supraoptico-hypophysial system and on vasopressin-like substance-containing granules (vlG) in the outer layer of the median eminence has been studied. In conjunction with appropriate sodium replacement, adrenalectomy induces an increase in the amount of vlG but does not alter the amount of cNSM. Administration of hypertonic saline diminishes cNSM but has no or only little influence on the amount of vlG. From the findings it is concluded that cNSM and vlG, in spite of their identical histochemical and immunohistochemical properties, have different functions. The functional significance of the vlG is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The influence of adrenalectomy and administration of hypertonic saline on the amount of vasopressin, oxytocin, and neurophysin contained in the median eminence and the neural lobe of rats was studied by means of the following methods: (i) morphometric and microphotometric analyses of aldehyde fuchsin-stained histological sections of the neurohypophysis; (ii) immunohistochemical demonstration of vasopressin, oxytocin, and neurophysin in the neurohypophysis, and (iii) radioimmunological measurement of vasopressin and oxytocin in extracts of the median eminence and the neural lobe. Adrenalectomy increases the amount of vasopressin and neurophysin in the external layer of the median eminence but does not change the content of oxytocin. It has no influence on the amount of vasopressin, oxytocin, and neurophysin demonstrable in the inner layer of the median eminence and in the neural lobe two weeks after the operation. Hypertonic saline markedly diminishes the vasopressin, oxytocin, and neurophysin content of the inner layer of the median eminence and the neural lobe but reduces only slightly, if at all, the amount of vasopressin and neurophysin in the outer layer of the median eminence. The findings support the concept that osmotic stress reduces only the vasopressin and oxytocin content of the hypothalamus-neural lobe system and has no or only little influence on the vasopressin content of the outer layer of the median eminence.
